I don't know where to post: there are too many social platforms, and the old giants are dying. The age of social media is splintering

Is TikTok’s new "deinfluencing" trend genuinely an antidote to our culture of overconsumption, or is it just a symptom of our economically turbulent times?
The Instagram divorce announcement has become so de rigueur that it is no longer limited to celebrities. Influencers and non-famous “normal” people have typed up statements to tell their followers about the end of their marriages.
The way we talk about relationships has drastically changed in recent years, especially online. Here is a glossary of some of the most popular words and phrases you should know
Twitter’s first three months under the empire of Elon Musk. Twitter’s staff spent years trying to protect the platform against impulsive billionaires who wanted to use it for their own ends — then one made himself the CEO
Last spring, Anthony Tabarez celebrated prom like many of today’s high schoolers: dancing the night away and capturing it through photos and videos. The snapshots show Mr. Tabarez, 18, and his friends grinning, jumping around and waving their arms from a crowded dance floor.
But instead of using his smartphone, Mr. Tabarez documented prom night with an Olympus FE-230, a 7.1-megapixel, silver digital camera made in 2007 and previously owned by his mother. During his senior year of high school, cameras like it started appearing in classrooms and at social gatherings. On prom night, Mr. Tabarez passed around his camera, which snapped fuchsia-tinted photos that looked straight from the early aughts.
“We’re so used to our phones,” said Mr. Tabarez, a freshman at California State University, Northridge. “When you have something else to shoot on, it’s more exciting.”
Its decline is about not just a loss of relevance, but a capitulation to a new era of “performance” media, in which we create online primarily to reach people we don’t know instead of the people we do. |
It's been one year since Elon Musk purchased Twitter. And it has not been a good year.
Dozens of studies of posts on X from multiple organizations have shown a similar trend: an increase in harmful content during Mr. Musk’s tenure.
The rules for phone calls have changed. Here are the basics on when and how to make a phone call, and why you should think twice before leaving that voice mail.
What did the internet look like before the dotcom bubble burst? Here's a look at the blocky, link-filled homepages of Apple, Amazon, and Geocities in 1999.
A Korean word? A new boy band? This new acronym is replacing LOL and ROFL on social media.
One week later, engagement is down — but the prize is still there for the taking.
Threads, from Meta, looks and feels like Twitter -- without the hate (so far).
After Facebook ate the media, “It” girls no longer needed to coax the press or the blogosphere into writing about them (or to hire publicists to coax or protest on their behalf). Nor did they have to join the press to write about themselves and one another. They could be their own bully pulpits, their own gazetteers.

whit the it girl I love how now there is a some diversity when it comes to the it girl.
The way “Abbott” deploys comic mix-ups is a technique the show shares with traditional sitcoms, the 20th-century kind with their multicamera setups, stagelike sets and audience laughter (real or simulated). But “Abbott” exists in a world that has been slowly shedding that style. Many examples still exist, but by the end of the aughts, multicamera shows were already seen as quaint compared with their critically acclaimed new counterparts — single-camera comedies like “Arrested Development,” “The Bernie Mac Show” or “Modern Family.” These shows could borrow techniques from film, documentary and reality TV — cutaways, confessional interviews, voice-over — to access jokes unavailable in the old studio-audience setup. The most obvious predecessors of “Abbott” were among them: the American adaptation of “The Office” and, later, “Parks and Recreation,” both long-running NBC mockumentary sitcoms about close-knit workplace colleagues.
Three years since the pandemic was declared, many of the apps, platforms and digital tools that millions relied on to stay connected are struggling, shrinking or shutting down. Zoom has slashed 15 percent of its work force. Epic Games killed off the group video app Houseparty in late 2021, and even Meta’s Portal devices, which after years of challenges surged in popularity in 2020, got the ax last year.
A wave of teenagers who developed tics during the pandemic has receded, illustrating the powerful influence of stress on the body and the resilience of adolescents
They are hidden in celebrity photos on Instagram in many of our streaming shows. "Easter eggs" and harvesting them is now integral to our consumption of entertainment. But there’s a fine line between perceptiveness and paranoia.
